Structural fragility and principle of maximum entropy
Abstract The concept of structural fragility with application to seismic probabilistic risk assessment is considered. Different formats of structural fragility representation are discussed. The principle of maximum entropy for a fragility distribution is formulated. Using this principle, the appropriate analytical forms of the state-of-knowledge fragility distribution for several important cases are selected. In the case where few fragility data are available, the joint distribution of uncertainty of fragility parameters is developed using the likelihood density function method.
